Tony Bellew Beats David Haye Again:
Time waits for no man and the opponent that no fighter can beat keeps his unbeaten record.
Father time can be cruel but it’s also inevitable.
Over the years I’ve witnessed the sad spectacle of the likes of Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard and others suffer sad defeats at the end of their careers, and this rematch is another to add to the long list.
David Haye just isn’t the fighter he once was, the heart was still willing but the body wasn’t, and despite what he says it looks as though his body let him down again, not to mention his punch resistance.
I thought Haye nicked the opening two rounds but something didn’t seem right, his movement, his timing, his reflexes, it looked just a matter of time before Bellew would break him.
Haye got countered and dropped in the 3rd and then it was a matter of when and not if. Haye lasted while the 5th and again showed immense heart in trying to stay in the fight, but he is just a shell of the fighter he once was, and hopefully he sees what is brutally obvious, his day in the sun is over, he’s done.
Bellew again backed up his words, soaked up what came his way and did the job even quicker, and much more impressively than 14 months ago. Whatever version of Haye he beat, he deserves the utmost respect for doing it.
